Determine Which Shear Bolt/Pin System
You Have
Augers are secured to the auger shaft with special
hardware designed to break if an object becomes lodged in
the auger housing.
Please refer to the Illustrated Parts List to determine if
your unit requires a shear pin, shear bolt, or shear bolt and
spacer combination.
Use only factory spec hardware or equivalent.
WARNING
Amputation hazard
The discharge chute contains a rotating impeller to throw
snow. Fingers can quickly become caught and traumatic
amputation or severe laceration will result. Hand contact
with the rotating impeller inside the discharge chute
is the most common cause of injury associated with
snowthrowers.
Turn the engine OFF, wait for all moving parts to stop,
and remove the engine key before performing any
maintenance or repairs.
Shear Pin Replacement
1. Turn off the engine and wait for all moving parts to stop.
2. Remove the existing shear pin.
3. Lubricate the auger grease fittings and rotate the auger
to lubricate the auger shaft.
NOTE: Some models are not equipped with grease
fittings and are exempt from this step.
4. Align the shear pin holes. Install the new shear pin (A,
Figure 18) through the auger shaft (C). Secure with a
cotter pin (B).

Checking Tire Pressure
Tire pressure should be checked periodically.
Recommended tire pressure varies by tire manufacturer.
A good rule of thumb is to inflate the tire up to, but not
exceeding, the "Max Inflation" stamped on the side-wall of
the tire.
